Cucumber Training in Gaia

This instructor-led, live training in Gaia (online or onsite) walks participants through real-life cases for Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and demonstrates hands-on how to implement Cucumber in various test scenarios.

Cucumber Electron is a framework for writing BDD (Behavior Driven Development) tests in plain language, with Electron, a framework for building desktop apps using Web technologies. It is intended for testing Javascript web applications. In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to write and execute BDD style test cases for node.js applications using Cucumber Electron. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Run BDD tests and application code in a single process (no transpiling)
• Write tests that are faster, less brittle and easier to debug

Audience

• Developers

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Cucumber is an open-source, BDD framework for writing tests in a natural language style.  BDD, or Behavior Driven Development, is an agile software development technique that encourages collaboration among developers, QA and non-technical business people in a software project. This training begins with a discussion of BDD and how Cucumber is used to carry out BDD testing for web applications. Participants are given ample opportunity to interact with the instructor and peers while implementing the concepts and tactics learned in this hands-on, practice-based lab environment. By the end of this training, participants will have a firm understanding of BDD and Cucumber, as well as the necessary practice and toolset to write their own test cases for real-world software test scenarios.

Format of the course

• Heavy emphasis on hands-on practice.
• Most of the concepts are learned through samples, exercises and hands-on development.

Note

• This training uses Eclipse and Selenium. If you wish to use a different IDE or test automation framework, please contact us to arrange.
• If your team is moving from manual testing to automation testing for the first time, please contact us to arrange extending the training to include additional coverage of automation testing.

Cucumber.js is a native JavaScript implementation of Cucumber. In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to write and execute BDD (Behavior Driven Devleopment) style test cases using Cucumber and Javascript. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Run automated tests written in the human-readable language, Gherkin
• Use Cucumber based test cases to improve communication and collaboration between technical and non-technical teams
• Integrate Cucumber.js with other testing frameworks such as Protractor for testing Angular applications

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

This instructor-led, live training in Gaia (online or onsite) is aimed at test engineers and developers who wish to learn how to test a complex web application using Iridium. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Create end-to-end tests that simulate the actions of a user as they navigate a web application.
• Automate the testing of themed applications with multiple styles.
• Create test cases that are readable to non-technical people.
• Execute tests in a wide variety of browsers.
• Use the Iridium Snippets package for Atom to facilitate test script writing.
• Reduce the costs of maintaining custom Java code and page objects.
